Funny thing is, I placed my order on 7/15/2013 and specifically order "4ply, nomex reinforced, high temp, turbo hose", which is almost certainly overkill for the application, but I wanted the best they had to offer and the price difference was measurable in cents, not dollars. Now I revisit their website 2 weeks later to provide you with the link and they have replaced it with "4 Ply Woven Aramid Reinforced Turbo Hose". Still a great hose and way overkill, but now the price is 50% higher than when I bought it. Anyway, here it is:

Agree RM's pricing on some parts are not competitive, but they were on parts for the daily car oil filters and for track car filters so a bulk buy was done to get free shipping along with the washers. I don't have access to anyone local with good metric supply so I just stock up.

After all the rain in out here I finally had a window today to drive a bit (no smoke on start up! and battery still good after sitting 2 weeks!) but I heard the ticking too next to barriers and other cars going slow. It sounds the same as I have known the car but it got me concerned. It sounds just like a air cooled vw beetle but not like the 993 turbo's I hear online. A ticking sound. Maybe when it was totally hot it was a bit quieter but not much. I hear no ticking in that promotive exhaust vid.

Fabulous write up as usual Mike. I must really drop by for a visit on my next trip to Whistler. A month ago I noticed a ticking noise bouncing off of the concrete highway divider. It increased with speed to sound like machine gun fire at 100mph. Only 16K miles and M1 V Twin. No noise at idle. How can this be?? Wait for it............................roofing nail in rear driver's side tire!

True, there's pros and cons. Also depends on what your definition of 'fun' is. Taking the turbos off when you set our mind to it is not that bad (might be a good time to have them looked at anyways), and valve adjustment isn't too bad either (although I've only done it on my old 3.2). Might also take the opportunity to change the exhaust then too. I'd think of it as an opportunity for more bonding - actually sort of look forward to it!
